This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE32X50 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE32X50 in place of this model. The ACE replacement is a current-production ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same bore, stroke and force class, with a matching short body and the same mounting-accessory family, so it fits the same envelope. Confirm mounting-interface dimensions against the ACE datasheet before ordering.
Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X50
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X50 is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 50mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE32X50 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X50
The ACP32X50 is a double acting compact cylinder in the discontinued AirTAC ACP DIN-standard series, with a 32 mm bore and 50 mm stroke. At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 402.1 N and pulls with 345.6 N, rising to 563 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical peak of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Its short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body will not fit.
The hard-anodized aluminium body carries threaded aluminium covers, an S45C hard-chrome piston rod and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. With the 402.1 N push figure, plan on roughly 241 N (about 24 kg) of real work at 0.5 MPa, which is roughly 12 kg of safe vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note that this code has no -S magnet, so no CMSE or DMSE switch can be fitted; order the -S variant if sensing is needed. The ACP32X50 is discontinued - the current-production drop-in is ACE32X50, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE32X50 (ISO 21287) carries the same bore/stroke/force class; confirm mounting-interface dimensions against the ACE datasheet before installation. Rod type: female thread (blank) or male thread (B). Thread options: PT (blank) / G.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | 484 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 kgf | |
The ACE32X50 produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

Where the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X50 Is Used
Jig clamping on CNC fixtures
The 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa clamps steel brackets in drilling jigs, and the short body fits inside fixture plates where a full-length cylinder cannot.
Pushing cartons on packaging lines
With about 24 kg of usable push force at 0.5 MPa, the 50 mm stroke diverts small cartons and trays on conveyor transfer stations.
Light press and staking stations
The 563 N push at 0.7 MPa suits staking pins and light press fits in electronics assembly, running 30-500 mm/s under PLC control.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X50 with the ACE32X50
Size the 32 mm bore between neighbours: the 25 mm bore gives 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa while the 40 mm bore reaches 628.3 N, so pick 32 mm when 402.1 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa match the job. A plain ACP32X50 drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mounts plus the optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches let you match existing fixtures. This model is discontinued; ACE32X50 is the current ISO 21287 replacement in the same bore, stroke and force class.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE32X50
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force class
- ✓ Confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S for magnet if you need sensors
Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X50 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the ACP32X50 pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 563 N and pulls 483.8 N; theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The model is discontinued - the current-production replacement is ACE32X50, an ISO 21287 drop-in in the same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP was built to a DIN standard.
It is a compact short-body cylinder, about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome rod, 12 mm rod with M8x1.25 female thread, 1/8" PT ports and a fixed TPU bumper at both ends. Sensing requires the optional -S magnet code, which enables CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches; this base code has no magnet.
